Joey Logano Wins Again; Advances to the Next Round Of The Chase

Oct 5, 2014

Shell scientists work with Team Penske every week to optimize a special formulation of Pennzoil racing oil for the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion. Shell $aver Cardholders can save 22 cents-per-gallon this Wednesday through WINsdays promotion.

With four new tires and dominating at the end of the race, Joey Logano, driver of the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion, captured the win in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race with Shell and Pennzoil technology under the hood. The win at the Kansas Speedway is the fifth 2014 points race victory for the Shell-Pennzoil team and clinches a place for Logano in the next round of the Chase.

“Throughout the season, Shell and Pennzoil engineers work closely with the Penske Racing team to support strong product development for use both on and off the track,” said Paul Bogers, General Manager of Lubricants Technology at Shell Oil. “The knowledge we gain at the track is the cornerstone to developing high quality products for our customers.”

While the logo is on the car, the technical alliance with Penske provides valuable opportunities to use Shell-Pennzoil science and technology to optimize performance at the track. Using the extreme testing grounds and harsh racing conditions at track, Shell-Pennzoil scientists work closely with Team Penske every week to optimize the special Pennzoil formulation racing oil that Logano uses in the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion. In addition to blending a unique formulation for the Ford engine from week to week, Shell-Pennzoil scientists also tailor high performance lubricants for the Team Penske gearbox.

“By harnessing the world-class knowledge and technology leadership at Shell-Pennzoil, we are able to tinker with one of the few areas that we can customize in stock cars....the racing motor oil. By having our scientists working with Team Penske, we are able to optimize the performance, efficiency, and engine reliability which gives us an edge on race day. This work with Shell-Pennzoil scientists to develop racing motor oils paid off with a win for Logano at the Hollywood Casino 400 at the Kansas Speedway.” said Travis Geisler, Director of Competition at Team Penske.

The Pennzoil formulation in the No. 22 car is based on the unique Shell PurePlus base oil technology. This fully synthetic base oil is made from natural gas resulting in oil that has fewer impurities than traditional motor oil made from crude oil. Combining Shell PurePlus Technology with Pennzoil Active Cleansing Agents makes this a winning combination that is now commercially available in Pennzoil Platinum and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum motor oils.
